Religous Education

As Catholics we are called to grow in our faith in a lifelong process beginning at birth and continuing through the end of life.  CCD provides many programs and activities both, formal and informal, which will enable all to grow in their faith and exercise their Christian discipleship in the world.  To inquire about any of the following Christian education programs and opportunities, please contact Mary Jo Orsini at [email protected] or [email protected] or through the Parish Office 330-637-4886. 

The goal of the CCD (CREATING CHRISTIAN DISCIPLES (CCD)) program for children is to root the children in the areas of Scripture, Church Tradition and Prayer.Through reflection time in class and reinforcement at home, children recognize God’s love for them, their own giftedness and the Holy Spirit’s presence to empower them to work for peace: within themselves, around themselves and in the world.  Daily Prayer enhances discernment of where God is calling them to use these gifts. 

Moreover, it is our hope that by “echoing God’s Living Word” (the very definition of catechesis) found in the Sunday Gospels may foster a consistent, spiritual and life-long quest for intimacy with God. 

Through formal catechesis and parental involement in the life of the Parish, students will grow  in their knowledge and understanding of their Catholic Faith.
